Don't know what is wrong.

My 00 ford taurus has white smoke coming out of exhaust, the check engine light is flashing, engine is sputtering, and stalling when at a complete stop. It makes a loud clanking sound while sputtering while idling.

Yea i stopped driving it. On my way home it shut off twice.Would it be worth it to spend the money to fix it? or buy a new car?My taurus it's self already has 132k miles on it

it might be able to be fixed but you would have to tow it to a shop and have them check the head to make sure it didnt messup the valves or pushrods or warp the headit might be able to be fixed but you would have to tow it to a shop and have them check the head to make sure it didnt messup the valves or pushrods or warp the head

The only thing which can cause white smoke is steam, and given radiator is in front, may be a small hole due to road pebble penetrating radiator core. Keep eye on water level and engine temperature as you don't want to run and overheat engine ever.

It is a clear case of the glow plugs malfunction. It had happened with my neighbor who tried to start his diesel focus one day.Even jump starting with another battery didn't solve the starting problem.

You could also check the EGR valve for damages and if you want to save a couple of bucks, then go in for used parts for the focus from Good used Focus Stuff

Is there a squealing noise like the pulley may have locked up? Make sure you don't have wiring getting hot.Check all areas near the exhaust and at the firewall area where the EGR piping comes off the exhaust. Make sure nothing is laying against the exhaust or catalytic converter. don-ohio

Dear Sir,
As you said engine light is on and misfire with white smoke, it clearly symptom of poor ignition spark may cause of any wire got disconnected or spark plug faulty.
white smoke comes only in case no spark at spark plug and un burn fuel throwing from silencer. check wire and spark plug if any issue let me know. thanks.
